EYOS Expeditions, the world’s foremost provider of private yacht expeditions, and Nansen Polar Expeditions, have joined forces on a long-term strategic alliance coinciding with Nansen’s recent fleet expansion. Together, EYOS and Nansen will combine their collective experience to introduce a new expedition yacht experience in the polar regions.
2020 marks the 200th anniversary of the first sighting of the Antarctic continent. With decades of combined experience in the region, and a genuine passion for exploring the ‘Last Continent’, EYOS has a proud record of achievements on the ice.
We’ve spent the past two days in the pack ice north of the Svalbard archipelago, and have had some terrific wildlife sightings.
For many Captains and crews of expedition yachts heading with us to Svalbard or through the Northwest Passage, this will be the first time that they have cruised through bear country.
Svalbard on a crisp summers morning is hard to beat! Anchored in an ice-free harbour set against a background of a ‘chocolate box’ alpine vista, there seems little one could improve on in the 24 hours of day light in perfect blue sky weather.
EYOS is already a member of the Association of Arctic Expedition Tour Operators (AECO). We recently became a full member of the International Association of Antarctic Tour Operators (IAATO) during it's Annual General Meeting in Hobart, Tasmania.
Strong interest in the Northwest Passage, a solid set of bookings for Svalbard and a rapidly expanding Antarctic market are all signs that the superyacht fleet is getting itchy feet!
As we prepare for the upcoming Arctic season, it is interesting to note the strong interest in the Northwest Passage.
How to enjoy two weeks of family fun during a private yacht charter in the Antarctic? Easy! How to enjoy it when several members of the family are prone to severe seasickness? Hmmmmm…..
